Suppress logging from SoapUIProTestCaseRunner class when running tests command line

Hi all, when running tests using testRunner.bat, the output that is generated contains hundreds and hundreds of lines from a SoapUIProTestCaseRunner class:   10:00:56,116 INFO [SoapUIProTestCaseRu...

    Wow, I must be blind. I decided to give it one more Google search before moving onto something else, and found the class here. Don't know why I couldn't find this in the other 2 API docs I checked, but this appears to be the correct class.

     

    For anyone else that is wondering, I simply added a new logger to the soapui-log4j.xml file:

     

    <logger name="com.smartbear.ready.cmd.runner.pro.SoapUIProTestCaseRunner">
    <level value="ERROR"/>
    <appender-ref ref="ERRORFILE"/>
</logger>

    Obviously, you'll probably want to change the level and appender, but this was just a quick test to confirm that it did not log the output to the console.

In Jenkins can you setup a tool configuration for ReadyAPI, then on each slave point it to where ReadyAPI is installed on that machine? If you have an environment variable you can access, you might be able to include your custom soapui-log4j.xml in the project and add an <antrun> task that will copy it over to %READYAPI_HOME%/bin before starting the test.

 

I don't know how you could test this locally because you don't have access to the directories (that is bizarre, btw), but it might work to suppress the logging when running from Jenkins.

Actually, it is quite common that corporate IT will lockdown the OS related directories on employees machines and not allow the user to modify or install software there.

 

I am less worried about my local environment. As for the jenkins machines, I will see if I can get IT to install the log4j configuration file there. Thank you for the advice.

 

The end goal is to get this maven plugin working so that the tests can be run anywhere.
